Happy Canada Day! - robkelk - 07-01-2026 It's the founding-of-the-nation holiday up here north of the border... although we're under a heat dome at the moment (forecast says it'll "feel like" 41°C/106°F with the humidity today) so I doubt I'm going to attend the festivities. Anyway. Happy Canada Day to all the other Canadians on the forum! RE: Happy Canada Day! - Norgarth - 07-01-2026 Back in January, my place of work did a survey, asking if we'd rather get the 1st or 3rd off.  Most of us chose the 3rd, so I'm working today but get a three day weekend, (yay!) Downside is that I work in the Injection Molding department, which tends to be hot to start with.  spent all shift yesterday with a humidex around 43-46C(109-113F)  Of course, at those temps, we do get a 15min heat break each hour, and there's fans all over, but it's still damn hot.  Today and tomorrow aren't going to be much better. RE: Happy Canada Day! - classicdrogn - 07-01-2026 Happy Canada Day, northern friends. Keep cool, stay hydrated, and wo on. RE: Happy Canada Day! - robkelk - 07-02-2026 Oh, we stayed hydrated. Multiple thunderstorms, multiple cases of flooding, multiple power outages (as of this posting, we're down to 137 parts of the city that are still without power). The festivities that normally get broadcast coast-to-coast-to-coast were cancelled. Ah, well.
